When the Lord of the Creation frst separated firmament from Armamen, und divided the waters from the dry land He made the sailor a necessity of manch on planet.

LEAVE FROM THE FRONT
In the House of Commoor MT MacPherson, answering Mr. Hoggo, said-In June of this year there were 187,000 men in France who had had no leave for 18 months In August that number had fallen to 20,000 and I have every reason to suppose that since then, with the hearty co-operation of all con cerned, great headway has been made not only with the remainder in that category but also with those who have not had leave for 12 month, and who have not forfeited their chances by misconduct or otherwise. Mr. Hogge asked whether there were not many cases of men in France why had not had leave for a period of oarlo yours. What steps were open to those men to obtain the leave arranged for, as recently announced by the Secretary for Warl He also asked whether there was any prospect of men serving in distant theatres of war being able to get leave Mr. MacPherson said that so far ay he knew there were no men in France who had not got leave for two years. If there were such cases they must be due to the men's own fault, for restrictions were placed to the grant-
